How often do childhood friendships last into adulthood? do a lot of them not last into adulthood?

i'm asking this question, because i'm desperate for validation in the sense that i'm not alone in this situation, who else can relate to this?

Sadly, i'm no longer in touch with any of my childhood friends, the friendships fizzled out due to attending different schools, growing apart or drifting apart from each other.

Very few people keep the same group of friends for life. You will find adults who are still friendly with their college roommate or something like that. But not many are still palling around with folks they knew in Kindergarten.

Some do, some don't. People move around the country and the world and lose touch. I regularly spend time with my friend who I met when our Mums went to the local park, when we were toddlers. We have been friends for over 60 years. Don't though give up, as school friends can come back into your life,later in life.
